Here’s a thumbnail sketch of what happed: Kid has a stroke; ruled brain dead and put on organ donor list. Armed dad goes in room and holds off medics for three hours. That is long enough for the son to recover enough functionality to prove he is NOT brain dead. He squeezed his father’s hand, and SWAT medic could see that he was alert when they came into the room. Dad spends some time in jail and then gets to spend Christmas with his highly recovered son. One of the lesson’s here is that the Read more […]

I believe people should have the authority over themselves to refuse treatment. That doesn’t mean they are always or usually right to do so. In Britain it seems to be the law that you have to give your reasons for refusing to the authorities and they decide if your reasons are rational. This may seem more compassionate, but the result is the legitimization of suicide because a person’s life is determined to be of no value. Recently, a woman’s right to die was justified an the grounds that she Read more […]

Things are confusing in the world today. First, the culture, headed up by the media, tells us that we need to tolerate everyone. Hate-speech is not allowed. If someone is transgender or homosexual or a crossdresser, we are to tolerate and even embrace them because they were born that way. Then, when we hear about disabled people, we hear how brave they are. Or, how about a terminally ill person, he is brave, too. This is, of course, true. People with disabilities and terminal illnesses Read more […]

A psychopath girlfriend seems to have convinced a boy to go ahead and kill himself—a valuable skill in the future. Conrad Roy III was a depressed eighteen-year-old who contemplated suicide. He also had a girlfriend who was around a year younger. Michelle Carter knew of Roy’s morbid thoughts of death. And she did all she could to get him to take action. From the Washington Post story: Roy had a history of depression and had attempted suicide in the past, but his family was hopeful Read more […]

Demonize Sarah Palin and pay doctors to talk to people about “end of life” care. NPR is the master at promoting the government’s endgame. Here’s how you do hardcore government propaganda: “Medicare Says Doctors Should Get Paid To Discuss End-Of-Life Issues.” In this case, the propagandist is NPR. Your tax dollars at works, along with donations from Liberals and organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Remember so-called death panels? When Congress debated the Affordable Read more […]

A woman chooses suicide in a way that will play into the hands of those who plan to impose involuntary euthanasia (i.e. murder). Extreme aging is the final trial that some of us will face in this life, if we are blessed in that way. Because medical care is so complicated now and two-income families rely on institutions to outsource much of what used to be normal family life, old age can be a very difficult time. It isn’t that way for everyone, but it can be. Naturally, a palliative care Read more […]

Belgium has granted euthanasia for a twenty-four-year-old woman who suffers from depression. If the police find a man about to jump off a bridge from a height that will probably end his life, what should they do? Should they try to talk him out of it? Should they tell him to do whatever he wants because it is no one’s business but his own if he wants to end his life? Or should they encourage him to jump? Making suicide illegal does not stop able-bodied persons from actually ending their lives Read more […]

A Princeton professor is blunt about his call to kill babies by intentional withholding of care. They intentionally deceived the nation to pass “The Affordable Car Act”… and the truth keeps flowing about what they intended to accomplish with Obamacare all along: From Vision to America: “Princeton Professor Calls For KILLING Disabled Infants Under OBAMACARE.” In a radio interview Sunday with Aaron Klein, broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and Philadelphia’s NewsTalk 990 Read more […]

The way Terry Schiavo was killed involved police “just following orders.” I missed it when it happened, but March 30 was the ten year anniversary of the killing of Terry Schiavo. Father Frank Pavone wrote an editorial about it at the Washington Times because he was there when she was dehydrated to death. (She was malnourished too, but I’m pretty sure thirst kills you more quickly.) Anyone who tells you that Terry Schiavl was “a vegetable” is lying to you. That statement is used because Read more […]

A prisoner is asking to be killed because he wants to harvest organs for his parents. According to WARN-TV in Nashville, “Tennessee inmate asks to die to help ailing parents live.” An inmate housed at the Turney Center in Hickman County is asking the Tennessee Supreme Court to allow him the right to die in prison so his organs can be harvested for his ailing parents. Kenneth Thomas, 37, is not ill. In fact, other than being asthmatic, he reports being in relatively good health. Thomas was Read more […]

Though she declared her plan to kill herself on November 1, now Brittany Maynard delays her suicide. I’m very sorry that Maynard has a terminal disease that means she will die young. I’m glad she wants to go on living for the moment. But her willingness to both advocate legalized suicide and to recommend taking advantage of the law was foolish and wrong. How would Maynard feel if the groups that were supporting her “right to die” told her that her mixed signals were hurting the Read more […]

Euthanasia for prisoners is a horrible idea no matter how appealing it seems. Governments first take away justice by ending the death penalty, and then reintroduce a way to kill prisoners based on “compassion” or “mercy.” It is a terrible exchange. The pioneer case comes to us from Belgium (which should surprise no one). It is easy to applaud the man’s death. He is a murderer and a multiple rapist. He should have been executed and not wasted a dime more of taxpayer money. But just Read more […]
